[wxsig] Lost wind direction

[Gary R. Schenaman]

I had a similar problem about 2 years ago.  It ended up being corrosion at the direction and wind speed circuit board.  It seems that over time and weather change the phone jack connection corroeds.  I ended up hard wiring (direct connection) to this circuit board.  I have one of the originals dallas 1 wire systems.  KB0VMZ

>I have the same setup with wind etc.  The problem is the wire to the head unit.  I have errors too.   I could not get the wind direction to work on the bench at all.  I only got it to work when I installed it.  I thing the cat5 I used is making it work.  I do get drop outs but not so bad as to not get a good reading.  I wish that the display would show the average reading with  a mark for a bad read for wind direction. Hint hint. May be a star next to the degree sign.
